Because I saw support from people like Alessandro Vesely for my proposal.

Then it hit me. Maybe more people like him interested in SMTPS too. So I have done some research and posted this comment.

When I open this thread, I just wanted to make sure we are all on the same page. I think I even mentioned what IETF thinks when I created this thread. And asked "I would love to know where you stand on this proposal."

So I opened this thread, just to collect some feedback.

Your post to this list was (according to the headers):
11 Jan 2019 23:08:21 +0530

Yet on the IETF-smtp mailing list at:
Wed, 9 Jan 2019 12:29:43 +0530

*You* wrote (in part):
I'm the guy who proposed SMTP Over TLS on Port 26. Looks like that was
dead end. So, now coming with another proposal.

Question: Why did you post something on NANOG that you already declared
to the IETF yourself as a "dead end" 2 days earlier? I read all of the
IETF emails on this idea. They explained why it is currently a
no-starter as proposed.
